Pythagorean Theorem practice

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the missing side of each triangle.  We will go over this tomorrow, but you are expected to have it completed today to get attendance credit as well as completion points!  Keep in mind, your answer can be left as the square root of a number, just like it is in the above example.  

You ARE allowed to use a calculator!

Good luck!
